Body Odour
Hey all! I've done keto in the past with huge success! However life happened and I fell off the wagon and blah blah blah. I've been sticking to low-ish carb for 3 and a half weeks now, between 30g-60g a day. The last few days I've noticed that my underarms stink. Badly. I don't recall noticing this previous times. I'm…

Depressive Episodes
Sorry if this is a bit deep, but between June and September 2015 I lost 16kg, going Keto from mid July. Everything was going amazingly until the 8 week mark, when I had an overwhelming urge to end my life. Nothing was wrong. Nothing had happened. I just wanted to die. I understand the first advice is to see a doctor, but I…

Liver
I've always been told that organs are full of nutrients, but I've never been able to get my head around the idea of eating them. Saw some chicken liver in my local grocery, and I am thinking of grabbing some. But what do I do with it?! Can I cook it up and throw it through a stir fry like I would with normal chicken? Or is…

The Proverbial Wagon
I can tell you exactly when it all went pear shaped. September 19th, 4:30pm. It was the day of my son's 3rd birthday party and I had been so busy getting ready and running around after miniature humans that all my structure and rules went out the window. I forgot to fuel my body. I forgot to eat. I knew that it was the…

It's a parent thing...
Sharing your food with the miniature people that you created. It never bothered me before, I'd just eat what was leftover on THEIR plate when they ate mine. But now I weigh all my food and check my portions so I can accurately log what I eat and then- THEN THEY EAT MY FOOD! Let's be honest, it's healthy food, and I'm happy…

Post exercise protein?
So after buying my running shoes, the shop assistant was telling me the best things to do re: running and he mentioned getting in protein max 10mins after a run. What I forgot to ask is "how much protein is needed?" I know it'll vary depending on the length/intensity of the workout. I'm only running 5-8km at the moment.…
-
Calories calories calories...
I have to track calories to keep myself accountable. I am a recovering snacker, and if I don't keep an eye on them I would just eat cheese all day long. Seriously. I've been sticking to "eat when you're hungry until you're satisfied" rule with my newfound LCHF. However I find that MOST days I barely reach 1200 calories.…

30mins < 5km
Soooooo, I run much slower than the app anticipates. I do treadmill on an incline and barely get faster than 5.3k/h. So by the end of my cooldown and 40mins of activity it says I've done 3.5km. Which is great, I'm happy with that. HOWEVER, I am entirely pooped by the end of my run, and still not running 5k. I'm hoping to…

Wow, the misinformation is baffling.
http://www.healthline.com/health-news/keto-diet-is-gaining-popularity-but-is-it-safe-121914#1 This did my head in. What. Even. Is. This? There are some good rebuttals in the comment section, thank goodness.

Old clothes...
Do you ladies and gents throw out/donate your "fat" clothes once you go down a size? My size has gone up and down so many times I always keep my clothes "just in case". I'm determined this time not to gain again, but wonder if I'm being hasty throwing out my larger clothes.
-
Vegetables...
I've never been a veggie lover. Except for potatoes (of course), and as I got older I also enjoy peas and corn. Can't have any of those now! What vegetables do you all eat AND (most importantly) how do you cook them to make them extra tasty?

Just finished week 4....
So I just finished week 4 (did 2 of the runs while I have a cold, twas tough!). And looking at week 5, I feel like it's gonna kick my butt. The currently sick me is kind of dreading it :/

Having trouble falling asleep!
I just started back on keto after my birthday weekend, and now I am having trouble falling asleep at night. I have always been the kind of person who can fall asleep within seconds of lying down. I'm definitely tired enough when I go to bed. Not stressing about anything. Could it be food related? Please someone tell me you…

Meal Prep (after ideas)
I find I do much better if I can throw something I've pre-made in the microwave, sprinkle some cheese on and just eat it. Chopping and cooking during the day (or even in the evenings) sometimes just seems like too much work. What are some things you guys cook in bulk to reheat (or eat cold!) later?
-
MFP carb - fibre
If you are tracking both carbs and fibre, does MFP automatically show your NET carbs or your TOTAL carbs? Because I've been assuming it was NET, but now I think I may have been jipping myself.
-
Calories...
So I know this may be a bit of a controversial topic, but I've read so much re: keto lifestyle and a big one is only eat when you're hungry. I'm only on day 12, but my (bad food) cravings are gone and today I am barely hungry (though I do have a cough/cold which may be adding to the lack of appetite). I've only eaten 650…

Guilty Partners
So I've dropped my carb intake and am watching my calories, and my darling husband does nothing but feel bad for me! Whenever it comes to something we used to share together (Tuesday movies and pizza or the occasional Indian if we felt like splurging!), he says that he feels guilty because it's "our thing", so he feels bad…

ADVICE NEEDED: breastfeeding mamas
Hi all, I'm seeking advice from people who've "been there". My 2nd bubba is nearly 5 months old and is exclusively breast fed. I put on a bit more weight during pregnancy than I would have liked, but have dropped 8kg (17lb) of it already. I have just started exercising more, and keeping a closer eye on my calorie intake. I…

Veggie drinks
Is there such a thing as a vegetable drink/smoothie that DOESN'T taste like crud? I figured they'd all taste bad so just threw one together for myself, and am actually having trouble keeping it down >.< does anyone have some recipes they've actually tried?
-
Night Time Eating...
So I'm after a little advice here, maybe you guys can think of something I haven't. I started on here about 6 weeks ago. The first 4 weeks were fantastic, I lost 4kgs (approx 8lbs), I was exercising most days, my appetite had shrunk, I was feeling great. Life was good. Then my 5 month old son got sick (a cold), and very…

Bad Moody
Most of the time when I want to know something, I google it. I like trying to find the right answers myself before asking others. Not too sure how to search this one though so I thought I'd just ask your opinions and see if anyone else had the same issue. About 5 days into my new 'calorie counting' I started having quite…
